I'm pretty sure it's not something people will need to do often and even if they do they can probablyuse your library better than me and figure it out lol.

When i try to compile the interface demo it give me this loading hud-groups.dme
interface-demo\input.dm:2:error: unable to open <forum_account\keyboard\keyboard.dme>.


hud-groups.dmb - 0 errors, 0 warnings

whats wrong? i wanted to see how ti worked :P

You got 0 errors so you can still see i guess.

You need to download the keyboard library: http://www.byond.com/developer/Forum_account/Keyboard

Hello master of all that comes in a library :P. I need your help with something in your HUD groups library(no change there), I have made a chat system with a say verb and the whole thing works fine it wraps text perfectly until it comes to wrapping a single word reaches a number within a certain range the proc completely ignore it for some reason. I'll show you all the code that goes with it then give you a scenario and let me know what you think.

Screen_output is the proc I'm using to do outputs as you can see, and I cannot solve the problem, I've tried adding outputs in so I can see the range within which it happens but it for some reason doesn't even compute that part so I get no output. If you could get back to me as soon as possible that would be great.
The word I use to replicate the problem every time is supercalifragilisticexpialidous(not sure if that's spelt right but oh well)

That's quite a lot of code you've got there. You can use the font object's wrap_text proc. It adds line breaks to a string so that no line exceeds a specified width (in pixels). The return value is a single string, you can just write a proc to chop it into multiple strings (one for each line) and call the add_line proc for each.

Yeah I know sorry about that, didn't realise how much it was till I posted it, I'll give your way a go.

Hey Forum_account, just wondering... Would it be possible to switch between your Sidescroller and back to the regular 3/4ths perspective?

It shouldn't be that hard. I don't know all the changes you'd have to make off the top of my head, but there shouldn't be many. To make it behave like a top-down game you'd have to disable gravity and make the up and down arrows move you up and down.

A really cheap and easy way to do this is to make all turfs act as ladders (in the areas you want to behave like top-down movement). When you're on a ladder you can move freely in any direction.

How would it be possible to changem y already existing AI code to use Move_towords, to represent the use of step_to? step_to looks messy moving 32 pixels when you move around 8 per step. My current implementation of move_towords is making the AI run past the mob, then back, etc.

I just updated the library, do you have the most recent version? The issue that I think you're describing with move_towards has been fixed.
Feb 16 2012, 1:25 pm
I downloaded it and adjusted, however the AI mob now spazzes out around the target, and while moving towards it.
Feb 17 2012, 2:58 pm
What do you mean by "spazzes out"? Can you provide a simple code example I can run?
Feb 17 2012, 3:51 pm
Big fan of your libraries, fa. I even have plans to use one eventually.

Keep up the good work. =)

"Spazzes out" As in doesn't look at the direction of the Target and instead flickers around in the 4 base directions while moving towards the target. Does the same thing while next to the target.

In response to D-Cire
My initial guess was the first line that says "src.Target=null". You're clearing the mob's target when they get close to their target. I'd think you'd want to switch to some different behavior here (ex: attacking) but keep the target set.

It appears to work for me but I had to make some adjustments to get it working. I put this code in the mob's action() proc:

mob
    enemy
        action()
            ..()
            
            if(src.Target)
                if(bounds_dist(src, src.Target) < 32 && !move_towards(src.Target))
                    src.Target = null
                    stop()
                    slow_down()
                    return
                
                src.dir = get_dir(src, src.Target)
                
                if(get_dist(src.Target, src) > 8)
                    src.Target = null
                
                else if(src.Target in get_step(src,src.dir))
                    // sleep(5)
                    stop()
                    slow_down()
                else
                    move_towards(src.Target)
            
            if(!src.Target)
                for(var/mob/M in oview(8, src))
                    if(M.key)
                        src.Target = M
                        // sleep(10)
                        break
Feb 20 2012, 10:38 am
that works for the most part, but upon running north/south then east/west it spazzes again.
Feb 20 2012, 10:52 am
My first guess is the "else if(src.Target in get_step(src,src.dir))" line. I'm actually not sure what that part is for - if you've reached that point you know that the bounds_dist to the target is >= 32. That else if and the else at the end might not even be necessary.
Feb 22 2012, 4:16 pm
Get step was basically checking if its in front of the user before attacking, you dont want to attack someone behind you. Lol. Im unsure exactly what bounds_dist does, i figured it just checked if it was in 32 pixels of you it would come up true.
